Rapper Kanye West has donated $133,000, a part of the proceeds from his Louis Vuitton Foundation concerts, to Chicago-based arts institution Donda's House.
The institute, which he co-founded in 2013 in honour of his mother Donda West, provides youths with artistic direction through various classes and programmes including creative writing, record producing and health education, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
